2Device overview

3Where to install it

The sensor reads a fingerprint optically, so daylight is what breaks it. Choose the spot with that in mind.

1. Indoors only. The clock is not weatherproof.
2. At least 3 m (10 ft) away from a window.
3. At least 2 m (6.5 ft) away from a light source.
4. Out of direct sunlight, including sunlight coming through a window.
5. Within reach of a power outlet, and of an Ethernet port if you are wiring it.

Mount the plate with its baseline 43⅓ in (110 cm) off the floor, which suits people between 5'1" and 6'0". Raise it to 45⅕ in (115 cm) where staff are mostly taller than 5'4".

4Mounting it on the wall

1. 1Verify a location for your Time-clock near an electrical outlet and Ethernet LAN port (if applicable).
2. 2Place the mounting plate against the wall and mark the holes. The distance from baseline to the ground is 43⅓ in (for heights 5'1" to 6'0"). If the distance is 45⅕ in, the suitable height is beyond 5'4".
3. 3Drill the four (4) holes and insert the dry-wall screw anchors. Do not use anchors if installing on a wall stud.
4. 4Align the mounting plate with the holes. Ensure the prongs face away from the wall and upward, then secure with the included screw.
5. 5Connect the A/C power cord to the Time-clock and the Ethernet LAN port (if applicable).
6. 6Slide the Time-clock onto the mounting plate.
7. 7Plug the A/C power adapter into the wall socket.
8. 8Fasten the mounting plate to the Time-clock using the small black screw.
9. 9Remove the fingerprint protection sticker.

5Connecting it to the internet

The Silver Pro requires an internet connection to sync with your Timedox Cloud account. Choose one of two ways to connect:

1. 1Verify the device is powered on.
2. 2Select COMM. and press M/OK, then select 'Wireless Network'.
3. 3Press M/OK to toggle Wi-Fi on, then use the arrows to choose your network and press M/OK to select.
4. 4Use the number pad to enter the Wi-Fi password (use arrow keys for letters and symbols), then select 'Connect to WiFi'.
5. 5Verify you see 'connected' next to your network name.

1. 1Verify the Ethernet cable is connected to the Time-clock and the wall port.
2. 2Select COMM. and press M/OK, then select 'Ethernet'.
3. 3Use the arrows to select the DHCP option and press M/OK to toggle it ON.
4. 4Press ESC to return to the 'Comm' menu, then select 'Ethernet' again.
5. 5Verify the device displays a valid IP address.
6. 6Press ESC 3x to return to the main screen and verify the connection.

6Adding employees

Employees are created in your Timedox Cloud account, never on the clock. The clock pulls the names down, and you then enrol the fingerprint, PIN or badge against the name that is already there.

1. 1Press M/OK to display the main menu.
2. 2Select User Mgt. then All Users.
3. 3Highlight a user and select Edit.
4. 4Choose an enrollment method (see options below).
5. 5Press ESC until the main screen is displayed.
6. 6Test the settings by using the chosen method to clock in.
7. 7Repeat for each employee.

7Clocking in and out

Staff identify themselves in one of four ways. Timedox records the first punch of the shift as IN and the next one as OUT, so nobody has to choose.

1. Fingerprint. Place the enrolled finger on the sensor. The clock searches every print it holds and shows the name on a match.
2. ID then fingerprint. Type the user ID, press M/OK, then place the finger. Useful for a print that is hard to match on its own.
3. ID then PIN. Type the user ID, press M/OK, then the PIN.
4. Badge. Hold the card or fob over the badge area.

A tick and the employee's name mean the punch is recorded. A cross means it is not: try again, or use another method.

8Attendance records

Main Menu > Attendance Search > Attendance Record. Enter a user ID, or leave it empty for everyone, then pick a range: today, yesterday, this week, last week, this month or last month.

Main Menu > USB Manager > Download > Attendance data writes the punches to the stick as a file named after the device serial number, ending in .dat. Open it on a computer with a text editor or a spreadsheet.

9Date and time

Main Menu > System > Date Time sets the date, the time, 24-hour display, the date format and daylight saving. The clock normally takes its time from Timedox Cloud, so only change this if the display is wrong.

10Optional: door lock and exit button

A normally-closed lock can share the clock's 12V supply. Run +12V and GND from the access control socket to the lock, take the door line from COM and NC, and fit an FR107 diode across the lock terminals to absorb the coil's back-EMF.

An exit button wires to the GND and BUT terminals of the same socket, so people can leave without verifying.

11Backing up the clock

Main Menu > Data Mgt > Backup Data writes a copy of the users and settings to the clock itself or to a USB stick, and Restore Data puts it back. Take a backup before you move a clock or change its network.

12Other settings you may meet

1. Work codes (Main Menu > Work Code) let staff tag a punch with the job they are on, when your account uses them.
2. Short messages (Main Menu > Short Message) put a note on the clock's screen, for everyone or for one person, between the times you set.
3. Autotest (Main Menu > Autotest) runs the clock through its own screen, voice, keypad, sensor and clock checks. Support may ask you to run it.
